Physics or Anthropology

<p>Hey there guys, I am a junior in high school and I currently am interested in both physics and anthropology. Should I try to just find a college that is really good in one of those areas or find a college, if possible, that is good in both? If you know of any such colleges I'd love to hear, thanks.</p>

<p>Be aware that in order to get any job worth your time and money you will need to get more than just a bachelor’s degree. Anthropology probably the more so, archaeology jobs and stuff that “require” anthropological </p>

<p>As far as I know, humanities PhD programs are not usually funded wish may mean a lot more cash out of your wallet. Same with masters.</p>

<p>Physics is often a good path to a medical school, and the PhDs are often funded. However keep in mind science PhDs does not have a good job outlook, there are many more PhDs being awarded than new academia positions opening up. You can go into industry or pursue years of postdocs, the latter of which is characterized by low pay and benefits. It may be a very long time before one can become a professor in that aspect.</p>

<p>If you intend on pursuing these advanced degrees, it won’t matter too much exactly what college you go too. There are lots of research-intensive physics programs, I do not know much about anthropology in this concern. Getting involved in undergraduate research and maintaining a good GPA is key if you want to be admitted to a medical school or graduate school in the future. 3.5+ is something good to shoot for, as I’ve been told.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Great information! Thanks for that Ctesiphon, I’ll certainly keep that in mind. </p>
